Mobile App-Based Yoga and Meditation in Rheumatoid Arthritis

The goal of this single-blind, randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the clinical effectiveness and short-term economic impact of a mobile application-based, personalized yoga and meditation program in adult patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). The main questions it aims to answer are: Does an 8-week digital yoga and meditation intervention reduce anxiety and improve other clinical/psychological outcomes (such as depression, pulmonary function, reaction time, quality of life, and stress) compared to standard medical care? Does this digital intervention reduce short-term healthcare utilization and associated direct medical costs? Researchers will compare the Mobile App Group (receiving personalized yoga and meditation via the Meditopia app) to a Control Group (receiving usual medical care) to evaluate the effectiveness and cost-efficiency of the intervention. Participants in the experimental group will: Use a mobile application to practice 15-30 minutes of yoga and 15-30 minutes of meditation daily, at least 4 days a week over an 8-week period. Complete clinical, psychometric, and economic assessments at baseline, week 4, and week 8.
